Pineapple, lemon, toast, and butter on the nose. Lots of ripe fruit, crisp acidity, and decent amount of oak. Very good value.

The Goatfather 2008, Wo Coastal Region

Maculan Pinot Grigio 2009, Doc Breganze

Flowery with apricot on the nose. This carries through onto the palate but the wine finishes dry. Fantastic Pinot Grigio for the price.
